I’m Still Kicking Boos!

Jan 092012

So HEL-LO. It’s sort of been awhile since I really blogged. And I’m mostly sorry but not really because I’ve gotten to SEE so many of you in the last month at book signings and such and it has been wonderful. So I’m sorry I haven’t blogged but if I got to see your sweet little face then I am NOT sorry that I was talking to you and not on the computer. December: A Total Blur. I had about six book signings in three different cities in two different states. I was on the radio for the first time, [Read more...]

My kids have brought the funny this week. Here’s a little medley for ya. ___ I was helping Aubrey rinse her hair and she yelled, “HEY WATCH IT MOMMA! YOU ARE BURNING MY SCALLOP! ___ In the car on the way to school I let Sadie watch Elmo’s World, “The Great Outdoors.” Elmo was telling Dorothy all about wild animals, apparently there was a photo montage and Emma said, “OH! I didn’t know squirrels and raccoons were WI-ULD andamals…” Aubrey said, “Whadaya think? A raccoon is a house pet????” ___ Emma was eating dinner. “Momma, I got some good news [Read more...]

*Zebulicious, my baby daddy, would like it duly noted that our five-year-old knows the KIDZ BOP versions of these songs and is not listening to explicit lyrics. Emma says she wants to be a rock star. Right now I’m just praying that Taylor Swift will be her biggest musical influence. And to further illustrate that we are not, in fact, raisin’ our chirrens to be complete heathens, please take a minute to listen to Emma’s first original song she wrote for God… Remember, the pahtee don’t staht til she walks in and God is bigger than a whale AND a [Read more...]

Emma Said: My Daddy Can Read On the Toilet

Aug 242011

Emma loves to get out of the bed, as her new kindergarten teachers can surely tell you. (She’s gotten in trouble twice in 9 days of school for not being still during nap time.) Tonight she got up: 1) To blow her nose. (What are you gonna do? It was running.) 2) For a drink of water. (Still. Her allergy medicine makes her all parched.) 3) To tell me, “Momma, did you KNOW that my Daddy can READ on the TOILET? My Grammie told me that!” Really? She considers reading on the toilet a talent? Something worth bragging about? (And [Read more...]

This might be better than California Gurls. Seriously. Sorry about the shaky video. I was backwards in my seat, shaking with laughter and Zebulicious was driving. You can hear the original song here. But it’s not as good as Emma’s version.

Everything Emma Needed To Learn About Kindergarten...

She learned from her big sister. I washed and dried Emma’s hair tonight in preparation for her first day of kindergarten tomorrow. She’s five-years-old and the skinniest thing you’ve ever seen. When she sits in my lap it’s like holding a human Transformer, she folds her arms and legs up and disappears into nothing. She’s tiny. She’s not my youngest, but she’s still my baby. “MOMMA!” She yelled over the hair dryer, “AUBWEY SAID DAT AT HER SCHOOL..” I flipped the hair dryer off so she could talk. “At her school, da wights go on and off by [Read more...]
